I will say it quietly but the forecast is looking good for the next week or so. The mornings are starting to feel a little colder though and on Monday I found myself contemplating the thermal underwear! However when the sun is out it is lovely as shown in the picture below.

Course update

With the combination of wet and sunny weather the team have been busy keeping on top of the grass cutting whilst also finishing off the drainage work on the 8th on Badgers green as well as starting and finishing some drainage work on the 7th on Badgers green.

The trees in the Wyre Forrest around the green the amount of light it gets is a lot less compared to others. Hopefully this will help going into the winter. The team are hopeful of completing some work on the 4th on Deer green over the next week or so.

This Friday

After months of planning from member Mark Greenfield and Dave Coleman The Teenage Cancer Trust Golf Day 2017 is finally here! The organisers are optimistic for the biggest total ever for a one day golf event here at Cleobury and they have had outstanding support so far with the event now SOLD OUT. 26 teams will be teeing off for a 12 noon shot gun start. Best of luck to all playing.

Please note: the last tee will be 9.45am to get Badgers or Deer Park as a front nine. Times after this will be on Foxes Run twice.

Huge Event Confirmed

Full details will be given out next week but please book in the diary… Sunday 15th October!An extremely generous friend of the club has organised an event called ‘Triple Dutch’.

It is limited to 72 players and will be one of the biggest and best competitions up at C.M.G.C this year.

If you would like to play please pop into the golf centre and speak to Dave or Amy and we can get your place reserved.

As mentioned full details to be given out next week, trust us this could well be the event of the year at the club.

More nice feedback

On Friday we held the Community Transport Golf Charity Day. It was a great day and it was lovely to get some nice feedback.

"Just a brief note so say a massive thank you to you both and all at Cleobury GC for making our Community Transport Charity Golf Day a roaring success. It seems that everybody had a great time, they enjoyed the golf, the course, the Club’s hospitality, the meal, the Beat the Pro and even the weather. Quick calculations show that we raised just short of £4,500.00, which is fantastic and there is no way we could have managed that without your help, so thank you so very very much.

Once again thank you to you and the whole Cleobury GC team."

Kind regards, Simon Tester (On Behalf of Community Transport)

A big thank you to the 22 teams who took part in the annual John Lacey Texas Scramble. The weather was very kind with some long sunny spells. The scoring on the day was tricky and not as low as in previous years. Josh and his defending champions finished third pipped on count back by Glen Thompson and his team.

The winning team was from Cleobury with Nigel Williams and his team of Sam, Craig and Adam. The team were out early making a good number of birdies which saw their score hold on throughout the day. A big thank you to all who played.

We are not quite sure how this happened, but a competition result slipped through the nett! A big congratulations to Glen Tramaseur, aka Tram, who won the weekend roll up at the back end of August.This was his first competition win of the season and very well deserved.

Anyone who knows Tram would agree he loves a bet and with his first win of the season under his belt, we would back him at evens to grab another one before the year is out!

How often do you use yours?

Take a moment to think about this question: what is the most underused club in your bag? If you’re answering truthfully, our money is on your fairway wood, which could easily become one of your go-to clubs if you carefully consider the different test each hole provides.

Play for position

Are you guilty of always pulling driver with barely a thought to the hole you’re on, the day’s wind or ground conditions? If some of you considered the challenge more carefully, we’re sure a fairway wood would be a wiser play more often. For example, you can take a hazard completely out of play or leave a full shot to the green instead of an awkward pitch - as illustrated by the graphic here.

Do you trust your fairway wood?

Of course, you can only rely on playing a safershot if you trust your fairway wood to be a consistent option. If yours often leaves you in trouble, perhaps you should consider a fitting to find a model more suited to your swing?

Try this option from PING

We’ve had a lot of success with the new PING G400 fairways that were launched to fly further than PING’s previous models but without sacrificing the forgiveness you need. Click on the image above to learn more about the different options available.

The start of autumn signals the time of year when many golfers begin to hibernate for the coming colder months. However, 2017 is going to be different because we’ve just received a brilliant selection of mid-layers that will keep you warm and swinging freely as the temperature drops, meaning there’ll be no excuses for you not to play.

Under Armour ColdGear Reactor Hybrid

We think you’ll love the styling of this lightweight quilted top that uses ColdGear Reactor material to provide insulation and Storm technology to repel water so it can be worn as your outer-layer when needed.

Under Armour Storm SweaterFleece

Do you prefer the feel of a brushed fleece fabric on your skin? This lightweight top has just that, but still has Storm technology to repel rain on the outside, as well as ribbed cuffs and hems for a more tailored fit.
